basically they complain about every tiny thing that could even be construed as vaguely Christian, no wonder American schools are vacuous culture free hell zones
Honestly, it makes complete sense now. This whole "they're getting God out of our schools" thing that boomers love to complain about is in large part perpetrated by the group they eulogize.
I realize this is a "well, duh" moment for most people here, but if you grow up around parents saying this stuff - people who have living memory of saying prayer in homeroom every morning - and realize that those same people in the same breath will mention the glories of postwar Jewish immigration, the "total irrationality" of the Nazis, the virtue of Israel, and Judeo-Christian values, all while the perfect angelic victims they defend are undermining the way of life they claim to care about so much... it blows my mind.
Aggressive secularization is blamed on "atheist activists" generally, but when I looked it up, two of the "Four Horsemen" of New Atheism are Jewish. Steven Pinker is Jewish. Engel v. Vitale is the decision that banned school prayer. Engel, the lead complainant, is Jewish. I'm just shaking my head.
I agree that public school bureaucrats and their woke staff misinterpret the establishment clause, and that many atheists and Jews hate Christianity and demonize it, but that's their right in a religiously pluralistic republic like ours. If you want your kids to get the full religious hit, why not send them to a Catholic school? They're good schools by and large. Much better than their Protestant equivalents, in fact.
"Aggressive secularization"? Are the Jews covert architects of a grand scheme to suppress Christianity? I know, I know, "they killed Jesus!" Seems to me this trend comes from atheistic SJWs and their fellow travelers.
I'm not even that remotely religious and frankly I find christian's way of defending themselves against the hostility frustrating to watch but I find you playing a devil's advocate and actual anti-christians heaps more annoying and tiresome. It all comes down to muh rights and at the same time that same group is trying to take away the rights of average people. And as usual, there's no more arguments coming from you when the other person is asking some right questions, it's just so weaselly.

I'm only anti-prejudice and anti over-generalization and am sick of the constant barrage of hate for the Jews I read here.
What would you like to argue? I just made a few idle observations. I'll be glad to explicate any assumptions I have that I may be unaware of.
